With a request like that, you've got it! Is there any reason why fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_TEXT) does not seem to change the mode if the file is already open in binary mode? It required me to use setmode(fd, O_TEXT) instead. My local patches are now tested, and default the dd files to binary if they are not a tty (tty's remain with the underlying behavior, this is comparable to other programs like od that default to binary). Then it copies Paul Eggert's upstream idea of adding [io]flag={text,binary}, but uses setmode to ensure that a user-specified mode is applied (since fcntl did not want to do it). Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on Pierre's latest mkdir(2) patch before `mkdir -p //server/share' will work. But I can go ahead and release 5.3.0-6 in test status, and bump it to current when cygwin-1.5.17 is released. Look for an upload request on cygwin-apps by tomorrow. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
